25.01.2022 Vitamin D. We get it from the sun right and given I live in Queensland and I run a lot outside, I don't cover up and rarely need to use sunscreen I should get enough right. WRONG. When I had my iron checked my GP checked a few other things, essential for an very active female athlete. If you live further south in Australia, have been forced inside more due to COVID-19 you may also be at risk. So why is in important? Its paramount for bone health, but sciences probes f...urther. It's also been discovered that Vitamin D may be a major muscle maker (and maintainer) and may help with physical performance on nearly every level. "In fact, research shows that increasing your vitamin D to 75-100 nanomoles per litre could boost your aerobic capacity, muscle growth, and muscle power while shortening your recovery time from hard exercise bouts and improving bone density." more great advice from Dr Stacy Sims from her book "Roar". It's important to note that more is not always better, it's definitely worth getting your Vitamin D checked out and supplementing where appropriate and under the guidance of your GP. Mine has definitely recommended yet again that I should supplement. Given the evidence it sounds I will definitely benefit from doing so. Just give me time. See more

24.01.2022 Gotta Love Courtney. Here's some wise words. Everyone's got that last gear. You think you're totally spent and you think there's nothing left to give. You just need something to light the spark. ... Everyone's got that, always! I think some of those I ran with on the weekend might have found that after we finally climbed out of Township Break. AND it so easy to fall in love with all the ultra community.

22.01.2022 Strava Flyby has been switched off. Who knew? I love this feature for most of the reasons discussed in this article and more. For instance I ran in the forest this morning and a couple of friends did too at a similar time and I wanted to see just how close we were. I love to see just how far, or not the people who ran or rode past me went too. Particularly on the trails. Its just interesting and a potentially a way to find a new route. However it just doesn't work unless you allow it on Strava. It's completely up to you the article explains how. #whosthat #stravaflyby #runandexplore

22.01.2022 The spoils of last nights event. Every now and then I get out there and race. This one was very much in preparation for the Big Dogs Backyard World Championships and pretty much went as planned. Nice to be on track, running circles with the ultra community. So much respect for Alun and Susannah at aaa racing for pulling this off in challenging times and circumstances. I completed 6 hours on the track and I can still walk today so that’s winning, although I placed 2nd on the night. Women finished outright 1st, 2nd and 3rd #GirlPower #idoitoutdoors #ultrarunning #revvies

19.01.2022 Embrace Adversity - All good growth and improvement is accompanied by adversity; With determination, resilience, and perspective, I emerge successfully. -Adversity is both danger and opportunity. I remain aware of the importance of both. - All of my accomplishments are the result of a strong worth ethic and learning from failure and setbacks. - Fatigue is part of the journey. Everyone becomes tired. ... -

18.01.2022 There's a saying among athletes that the race is won in the bed. Hard training and good nutrition are essential, but sleep in where you body recovers, repairs, and gets ready for peak performance. One of the best things you can do pre race is prioritise sleep. #ultrarunning #ultrasleep

18.01.2022 I'm walking in the chefs' shoes to raise fund for Fareshare. It is estimated the chefs at FareShare who used food that would have otherwise gone to waste to prepare meals for those who might otherwise go hungry walk 15km a day in the kitchen. So I've committed to covering 150km from the 1st - 15th November. Join me in this challenge of put some funds towards powering the kitchens for this fantastic group.

16.01.2022 For the female athletes like me who just want to keep playing.

15.01.2022 Calories in your pocket, Hydration in your bottles. For the vast majority a high-carb drink is not necessary. Separating calories from hydration is a better and more versatile strategy. As workload and temperature change, your fluid and calorie needs change independently. Too often ultra runners experience gastric distress because the mix is not quite right. As a coach I work with you to work out the ideal combination for your event taking into account the potential... race conditions. Probably the most neglected part of training it can bring months of hardwork on the trails or road undone in the space of an hour or two Furthermore when people have that perfect or breakthrough race I ask them what did you do differently to get such an amazing result. More often than not the answer is I got nutrition (and hydration usually be default) right. #ultrarunning #runningismypassion #idoitoutdoors Koop, J (2016) "Training Essentials for Ultrarunning"

14.01.2022 Some great information for all endurance athletes and most women. Getting enough iron is very common struggle amongst female endurance athletes.

12.01.2022 Expect Nothing. Prepare for the possibility of anything happening, and let go of the expecting outcomes and results. Having said that, if you have prepared thoroughly, done what's needed to perform well, and feel you are in good shape, you can have the following expectations, and no more: - Expect to do your best, even if that doesn't mean winning - Expect to do well. - Expect to have it all come together. - Expect that something really good is about to take place. ... - Expect success, which is defined by your ability to demonstrate your present best level of performance on a consistent basis. - Expect to get to know yourself and become a better athlete and person. Make you expectations consistent with what you feel is realistic for you - not what the media or others expect. Expect to be courageous, fearless, happy, intense, patient, bold, daring, if you choose, and let the outcome take care of itself. MY best results were achieved with this mindset. Since my greatest races I have been weighed down by expectations. It's taken me a while to adjust and refocus and to really Expect Nothing. Lynch, J (2006) "The Way of the Champion: Lessons from Sun Tzu's The Art of War and other Tao Wisdom for Sports and Life"

10.01.2022 It's been 2 weeks since I had an injection of FE (Iron) and things have improved. It is recommended that for most nutrients, food is still your best source. So in an effort to get more iron through the food I eat I have been actively working out how. A list of the foods I eat regularly or will aim to eat more is listed in the comments. I've also 'attempted' to time my coffee intake better. Now that has been a real challenge. I'm making decisions in regards to coffee and weighing up the pros and cons. An Iron Supplement is still necessary at least for now.

10.01.2022 be your own hero it is easy to be intimidated by the distances covered by the elite backyard runners. to think that this is a race beyond your reach. nothing co...uld be further from the truth... the heart of the backyard ultras is not the race that goes on for days. it is the races that end in 20-30 hours. and the soul of the sport is not the 60 hour runners. it is every person who steps into the starting corral in a search for their own limits. it does not matter how far you go the furthest you have ever gone is the furthest you have ever gone. be inspired by these amazing athletes. but don't be inspired to just admire their accomplishments. be inspired to go out and seek your own limits. be inspired to go out and go further than you have ever gone. be your own hero.

09.01.2022 Fun Fact Friday - For Runners... Side tracked by a book in Tim’s home office! Running is not a pointless exercise, and we always knew humans shine when it comes to long distances, the only primate that engages in endurance running. Our anatomy looks the way it does because we are more likely to survive if you can run and keep running. True I think even in modern society. #runforlife #runformentalhealth #runandexplore

09.01.2022 Three Dangerous D's: Body Dissatisfaction, Dieting and Disordered Eating. I've been focusing a lot of nutrition and diet of late but I would like to reassure you and perhaps ask you to check in with yourself on this matter. Don't confuse disordered eating with an eating disorder. Disordered eating is defined as "attitudes about weight, food and body size and shape that cause a person to have very strict or rigid eating and exercise habits that jeopardise their health, happ...iness and safety" At this time I am focused on adjusting my eating habits in order to rectify a deficiency. I still tune into my body's signals for hunger and fullness (as normal, healthy eaters do). There are no good or bad foods, I do enjoy chocolate every now and then, I will have a beer or wine occasionally. You inherited a body type and I have seen every body type imaginable finish an ultramarathon. Don't deprive yourself of the things that you enjoy. Make good choices. It's that simple.

08.01.2022 While I like the data I do like to keep things simple and I have often said when the battery on your watches dies just keep running. Sometimes I think we are too lost in technology we forget the simple act of running in nature, and the mexicans course looked amazing, in the canyons with some good elevation.

08.01.2022 Overdid it over Christmas and New Year?, I’ve indulged but I feel I’ve probably made up for it now running 20km on the last day of 2020 and then 21km on the 1st day of the year. At least according to one nutritionist.

07.01.2022 Sports Nutrition. One of the greatest truths about sports nutrition is that even the best foods are useless if they stay in your pocket. You have to put those calories, electrolytes, and fluids into your body for them to do you any good. That means you have to like how they taste, how they smell, how they feel in your mouth and how easy they are to unwrap and get down your throat." I quite like Koda gels and I can take a lot of them but when it's convenient I eat boiled po...tatoes, banana and other foods. I am also going to try this recipe for my 6 hour track event in preparation for Last One Standing. If you're looking for an alternative to a gel that is just as easy to pack and carry this could be a good option.

07.01.2022 It's not everyday you get mentioned in a published work and also get a personal note and signature of the author. It was a pleasure assisting Doug in his running journey. I was very aware the challenges he faced due to his brain injury. If you're looking for a real life story on overcoming adversity this is a good one. "Working with Jodie not only changed me as a runner, it also brought something back into my life that I'd lacked since leaving my job at the bank: life structure and hard work. ... Jodie used online athletic performance management tools to statistically monitor my fitness and development. The data made it possible to tweak my training loads and to manage me levels of fatigue with and efficiency that brought remarkable results, quickly!"

07.01.2022 We are 5 days into this challenge and I've covered 52.5km, I should be able to manage another 98.5km in the next 10 days. After this mornings Over Under Story Run I'm feeling a little hungry. I was grateful for great weather, a coffee from Clancy's and fresh fruit to refuel me when I got home. Not much food gets wasted in my house and I love that FareShare make this their mission. #runforacause #waronwaste

06.01.2022 The Fatigue Intrigue On the weekend I spent half a day running. It was a challenging 40km run with some decent climbs and challenging descents and amazing views. A common theme was fatigue and I am sure everyone there learnt that it is possible even when tired to run that last 1.5km to finish when you really just want to stop. We could have run up to and along a busy road, the trail was longer but much more fun. Combating fatigue is a mindset and possible by doing the f...ollowing. 1. Focus on one small segment at a time. In a marathon with 5km to go focus on running 1km, then one more and so on 2. Focus on how close you are to the finish, if that is so. 3. Concentrate on the mechanics of your form, and pace to distract attention from the discomfort 4. Know that all others probably hurt and feel tired at this point too. If they can do it, so can you. 5. Focus on relaxing your face muscles, let your muscles hang on the bones. I find running along with my arms dangling and a smile is pretty effective. 6. Bargain with your body. Tell it you will get a mssage, take a hot bath and rest as you nourish it with healthy food. 7. Change your view of fatigue. Tell yourself this is a necessary feeling in the exploration of your full potential. Lynch, Jerry (2006) The Way of the Champion

03.01.2022 From the Little Book of Shocking Food Facts. Mushrooms, along with Barley and Oats contain Beta-Glucans, which are able to stimulate the immune system to overcome bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. (Mutation Research, 2008) Most people drink about 2 litres of water a day, but consume 3,000 litres a day if the water that goes into producing their food is taken into account. (The Economist, 2008)

01.01.2022 Running - It's human instinct, why fight it? An article the journal 'Nature", argued that running was a key factor in the evolution of human beings. The increased brain size made us smarter, creating tools and ways of cooperating with each other to increase survival chances on the Afican Plains. But from the neck down human the changes were just as critical enabling us to be better endurance runners. The many changes in physiology that made us better runners as we evolv...ed away from tree apes, including the development of upright posture, longer legs, more rigid feet and bigger buttocks. In addition, our loss of body hair and the development of one of the most effective sweating mechanisms in the entire animal kingdom gave us tremendous capacity to maintain safe body temperatures while running for a long time.
